My "FAQ" question: What are the responsibilities of the library requesting an interlibrary loan and the library supplying the interlibrary loan?
According to the American Library Association’s Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States, the responsibilities of a requesting library are as follows:
The requesting library's ILL system must be up to date. The user has a right to privacy. The library needs to provide adequate information on the requested material that meets the suppliers demands. It is preferred that the loan be transmitted electronically. The library is subject to laws pertaining to the sharing or copying of the material. If a requested loan is borrowed and damaged in any way, then the material must be compensated in a way that the supplier library sees fit. The library will take full responsibility of the user if the user mishandles the item in respect. If the requesting library makes a renewal request and the supplying library does not respond, then the requesting library can assume that the renewal has been granted. The supplying library has the right to have their materials shipped in a manner that they prefer and the packaging must prevent damage. All dates should be kept. If the requesting library does not comply with this code the supplying library may suspend the requesting library from any loans.
The supplying library should consider all requests regardless of format. It should update its interlibrary lending service. As stated above the library should maintain the confidentiality of the user. The supplying library should be able to fulfill requests in a timely manner and if it is unable to do so, then it should state why. When a request is being filled it should send enough information so the request. The due date of the item should be upheld. The material should be sent electronically. The supplying library has the right to recollect the material at any moment. The library should respond to request for renewals. If this code is not adhered to then the requesting library has the right to hinder this service.

Keith DeNivo Self-assembly and optical properties of hydrogen bonded nanostructures containing C60 and pyrene
Abstract:
A supra molecular system with barbituric acid-substituted fullerene derivative and dipyrenemethyl-substituted melamine was studied. Hydrogen bonding had a key roll in the interaction and HNMR and Scanning electron microscopy images proved it.
Introduction:
Fullerene has been studied due to its potential use in suprachemistry such as in electron transfer model systems. Chemists have discovered or developed ways that allow nanoscale molecular compounds that could have possible applications in materials or biological sciences. Barituric acid substituted fullerene and dipyrenemethyl-substituted melamine were utilized with hydrogen bonding to construct a superamolecular system.
Materials and measurements:
Materials used predominately came from Acros of Aldrich Corporation. They included several different instruments that deal with spectroscopy and other types of analysis.
Synthesis of C60DM:
This section describes how C60DM was synthesized prepared and purified under observable conditions. Observations of the synthesis were recorded as well as peaks from H NMR and other identifying instruments.
Synthesis of Compound 1:
This section appears to discuss the synthesis of barituric acid substituted fullerene. This section once again provides H NMR and the MALDI mass spectrometer peaks.
Synthesis of Compound 2:
How dipyrenemethyl-substituted melamine was synthesized and the proof provided.
Results and Discussion
Synthesis:
It discusses the synthesis of compound 1 and 2. There are comments on the solubility of the compounds and the reaction mechanisms.
Spectroscopic studies:
This section interprets the spectroscopic values obtained and confirms the compounds synthesized.
Ultimately the hydrogen bonding between the compounds was confirmed through these studies.
Photoelectrochemical studies:
In order to find the electron transfer interactions in the self assembly system a use of a electrochemical cells was employed. The compounds 2 and 1 have a stronger photocurrent response than any other combination of compounds studied.
Scanning electron Microscopic studies:
The compounds were prepared for the scanning electron microscope. However the compounds could not be imaged.
Conclusion
THe supramolecular system of barbituric acid substituted fullerene and dipyrenemethyl-substituted melamine was synthesized and identified.
